Chapter 728: Canned Sugar Water
Li Jing couldn't help but pat Zhang Zhongjian on the shoulder, "Brother, in the hands of the Protector, nothing is impossible, when he said that he wanted to build a ship made of pure steel, even I thought he was joking." Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, he actually built it! ”
The Pioneer and the Chengke cleaved the waves to open the way in front, and the soldiers on the ordinary ships behind them all showed envious looks.
If you have the opportunity to sail and fight on this iron guy in this life, tut-tut.
Some people can't help but drool.
Leng Feng, who was at the back, couldn't help but pout his lips when he heard the voice coming from behind him.
In fact, the ship he was on was the ironclad ship Chengtai, but the people who just got on this ship couldn't see the specialness of this ship.
Li Tai is particularly concerned about the ship named after himself and his brother, and after the process of passivating the bottom of the ship, he also specially asked a lacquer maker to paint all parts of the Chengtai, and now the Chengtai does not look at the bottom of the ship, does not look at the chimney, and is no different from an ordinary wooden ship.
Stepping on the paint under his feet, Leng Feng said to Li Tai, "Qingque, in fact, in fact, the hull on the sea is much slower than the loss on the seabed, and it is a bit redundant for you to apply a layer of paint like this!" ”
Li Tai is naturally in the Chengtai.
Hearing Master's words, Li Tai smiled and said, "Master, in fact, I am doing this for fun, although it is a waste of something, but the apprentice is spending his own money." On the other hand, the apprentice wanted to see if the steel surface would reduce the resistance of sailing after the steel surface became smooth. ”
Hearing this, Leng Feng had nothing to say.
Since Li Tai paid out of his own pocket, Leng Feng was naturally reluctant to take care of it, not to mention that Li Tai did this because of the experimental nature in it.
Leng Jing got out from behind Li Tai and said, "Daddy, Senior Brother's boat is very beautiful, compared to the two ships in front, I don't know how much it looks better." ”
Leng Feng smiled slightly and patted his son's head.
The standard for children to appreciate things is whether they look good or not. Although he should be taught the truth of "flashy" at this time, Leng Feng did not.
There are many truths, and compared with the indoctrination of the elders, the children themselves understand more profoundly.
The land gradually disappeared from view, and there was no reference on the vast sea.
At the beginning, Liu Shuwen and Leng Yuewu, mother and daughter, could still watch the sea on the deck, but after there was no land and the hull became bumpy, the two of them were a little seasick and hurriedly returned to the warehouse.
As a person who practices martial arts, Xiaocai is much better, but after being dizzy for a while, he adapts to the ups and downs of the waves, and is even in the mood to drag Leng Feng to watch the dolphins following the boat.
When they first went to sea, it was the Pioneer and the Chengke who opened the way, but after officially entering the sea, the leader was replaced by Zhang Zhongjian's ship, and the Pioneer followed.
In the vast sea, there is no reference object, no radar satellite, but Zhang Zhongjian and others can rely on their keen intuition to constantly correct the direction.
The sun enters the water, the sea at dusk is beautiful, and the sunset hangs in the sky on the sea in the west, so if you have a camera, you will be able to take beautiful pictures.
It was in this sunset that Zhang Zhongjian arrived at an island with his fleet.
In the case of poor lighting conditions, even ironclad ships do not dare to sail rashly. Because of this, maritime merchants are known as the profession with the highest mortality rate.
However, Zhang Zhongjian, a person who has been struggling at sea for many years, has long been accustomed to ocean currents, islands, and reefs everywhere. Every pirate leader who lives well has a perfect chart in his head!
In the evening, the flotilla was to dock and pause. Not only did the island provide shelter, but also the chance of food and fresh water, and the fleet was docked on the convex surface of the island, where a simple rope could prevent the currents from carrying the boat away.
The island where Zhang Zhongjian docked has a forest, so there is no need to use the fuel on the ship, and everyone has a hot meal to eat.
Because he brought his family and did not directly participate in the battle, Leng Feng deliberately brought a large amount of supplies on the Chengtai.
Eating rice, Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile, "During this time in Datang, I ate well every day, and I don't know if I can suffer at sea in the future." ”
Li Jing wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.
Half-life in the army, he knew that people like his brother liked the days of survival in death. Habit is a terrible thing, and after getting used to the sword and sword, the ordinary life of enjoyment will make people feel uncomfortable.
It was precisely because of his understanding that Li Jing did not leave Zhang Zhongjian behind, but chose to support him to return to Buyeo.
Zhang Liang cautiously ate a bite of cabbage, and then took a few bites of rice.
He was also accustomed to the days at sea, where the most torturous thing was not the bumps, but the food. Eating seafood all day long, without green vegetables to supplement nutrition, people are prone to scurvy. Because of this, Zhang Liang can eat cabbage at this time to eat a luxurious meal.
Seeing Zhang Liang's frightened appearance, Leng Feng couldn't help but say, "You don't need to do this, right?" Although the storage time of green vegetables is short, I still have fruits on board, and you can't bear the hardships along the way. ”
Zhang Liang waved his hand with his hand grasping chopsticks, "Fruits can't be stored for long, don't you know, I once had the experience of eating vegetables when I went ashore." Because I was afraid of scratching my mouth, I would not allow soldiers to bring vegetables after going to sea. Anyway, it will be broken after three or five days, so it is better to avoid it as soon as you go to sea. ”
Leng Feng took out an jar and handed it to Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang refused and said, "Don't drink, now it's a military dispatch, you can't drink." ”
Leng Feng shook his head, "This is not wine, it is fruit." ”
"Fruit?"
Zhang Liang took the jar with doubts and slapped off the silk cloth on it.
Under the silk cloth is a layer of mud seal.
After breaking the mud seal, there is also a wooden plug underneath.
After pulling the stopper, a sweet smell finally came from the jar.
Zhang Liang stretched out his chopsticks and poked it, but poked out a grape.
"This?"
Not only Zhang Liang, but even Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian stopped whispering and came over to take a look.
It's the height of summer, how can there be such a thing as grapes?
Seeing Zhang Liang's surprised look, Leng Feng said, "Canned sugar water, as long as you fill the jar with sugar water, stuff it with fruit, and seal it well, it can be stored for a long time." ”
Zhang Liang tasted it unbelievably and found that the grapes really did not change their taste. It's just that the taste of the sugar water outside is really sweet, and he is a little unaccustomed to it.
Leng Feng asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
Zhang Liang nodded, and then grabbed Leng Feng's clothes fiercely, "I don't care, I want the recipe for canned sugar water!" Damn, the sins that Lao Tzu has suffered at sea all these years have been in vain! ”
Zhang Zhongjian was also a little excited, he couldn't eat vegetables at sea, not only was his mouth uncomfortable, but his body was also prone to problems, this method of preserving fresh fruits was really worth 10,000 taels of gold for people at sea.
